Alicia Hoffman · Answer 1

375

Step-by-step explanation

Because u take the equation and plug in each of the values getting you G+B=666 and then you know that the Garden Table is less than the bench so u plug that in to get B-84+B=666 and then you combine like terms and get 2b-84=666 then you can solve the equations by first adding to even the equation 2b=750 then dividing 2 by 750 to get b=375.

Elena Lane · Answer 2

666/2 = 333 Divide in half.

333 + 84 = 417 Add 84 to bench since its $84 more.

666 - 417 = 249 Subtract to get value of table.

Therefore, the table costs $249 and the bench costs $417.
